A classic baddie comes to DVD! As if the title alone weren't enough to make this a MUST, know that this was Lugosi in his Ed Wood period, huffing Sterno because alcohol didn't get him off any more and garbling his lines unintelligibly (legendary hack William "One-Shot" Beaudine cared only about bringing a film in on-schedule and under-budget, so intelligibility was NOT one of his calling cards); Petrillo & Mitchell's Martin & Lewis schtick was SO much an impersonation that Jerry & Dean sued (successfully); and the gorilla suit (I'm a HUGE fan of vintage gorilla-suit movies...there were only about a half-dozen of them in existence, that made the rounds of big-and-small budget flicks...you get to where you recognize which one you're seeing and, in the postgraduate program, where you've seen it before) really doesn't come close to fitting the "actor" within, and they didn't even dry-clean it before the shoot. A true winner for schlock-lovers!
